PIP Guide

Our PIP guide is designed to help you through the process of claiming a Personal Independence Payment

Personal independence payment (PIP) is a benefit for people who need help taking part in everyday life or who find it difficult to get around

It replaces disability living allowance for people between the ages of 16 and 64 inclusive. In 2012, there were over 3 million DLA claimants in the UK; the Government estimates 600,000 fewer disabled people will qualify for PIP by 2018.

Disability Rights UK has produced this guide to help you through the claiming process.

The guide covers information on:

The PIP rules

The scoring system

The activities and descriptors

Filling out the claim form

Keeping a diary

The face to face consultation with a healthcare professional

What to do if you are not happy with your decision
